Pip reviews

morning,

hope everyone has enjoyed Christmas.

Do we expect the pip review backlogs to get better in 2025? Also, am I right in thinking that more people are having paper based reviews?

My Christmas was lovely, I hope yours was too.

We can only hope that review backlogs will decrease but it’s been this way since 2020 so I won’t hold out my hopes.

For reviews they will always try to make a decision without an assessment and even without having to send your file across to the assessment providers. I don’t know if more people are having paper based reviews because I can’t see any stats related to that. You can see them here. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/personal-independence-payment-statistics-to-july-2024/personal-independence-payment-official-statistics-to-july-2024#review-outcomes
